Three years in the making, this is the second generation of Kelly’s APEX Trunk. We took the most high-performance trunk ever made — and made it even better. 

We delivered on Kelly’s precise design requests: better no-slip braided drawcords, an enhanced waistband that cinches without bunching, and reinforced ultrasonic-welded seams where it matters most. 

We teamed up with our friends at Bureo for their matchless NetPlus® material made from recycled fishing nets. This yielded a truly responsibly made trunk with a little more substance than the first APEX—without compromising any performance qualities.  

Crafted from 90% NetPlus® Recycled Nylon, 10% Spandex. 

Performance centered design details throughout: 
- Pitched forward side seams with vents for easier fit on the board.
- Unique arc and tangent shaped back pocket featuring a key loop and eleven laser cut drainage holes, one for each of Kelly's world titles.
- Engineered side seam taping. 
- Soft touch interior waistband. 
- Gusseted fly. 
- Soft touch triangles at inner thigh touch points. 
- Unique rubberized drawstring.

ran a little small

"ran a little small"

Kurt T. (4/5)

Worth the money

"Fit well. Especially if you have slightly bigger legs than normal. Very nice material and the low profile waist. String also stays tied. I’ll be purchasing another pair soon."

Joshua R. (5/5)

The coolest trunks ever made

"They feel and look a little weird when you first get them. They're rigid. They feel like one piece of material. Put them on and you'll fall in love with them. I've never put on a trunk that felt so light. The fit is incredible. I like my trunks shorter, so these are perfect. The new long shorts all the kids are wearing are not for me. the Apex Evolution are super light and I really like the color. The side slits at the bottom of the trunk are great for mobility. I know they cost a grip, but I feel like you get your money's worth. Get a pair and see for yourself."

Seth F. (5/5)

Goated

"Best board shorts I have ever hand. Hands down."

Curtis P. (5/5)

The best trunks for the best days!

"These trunk dont just look great but they also are incredibly durable and fit perfectly. If i had to choose one pair of trunks for the rest of my life, these would be the ones."

Ross R. (5/5)
